Comic 887: Not even references

Alt-text: Not shown: the approximately 30,000 identical, vaguely hysterical articles titled "WHITE PEOPLE IN [THE US/BRITAIN] TO BECOME MINORITY BY [YEAR]!", which came up for basically any year I put in.

Oh fucking hell, another list, and it'll take you seven hours to read it! Of course Randall's insistence on hand-drawing this shit means it's an ugly, error-ridden mess, and this time he couldn't even be bothered with any form of graphics. And he ends it on a Zero Wing reference? Tell you what, I'll summarise the whole thing for you just so you don't have to read it:

- People on the internet make crazy claims about the future, don't they?
- ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.

If you do read it, you'll probably find something on there mildly amusing just through the sheer volume. It won't be worth the hassle, trust me. Walk away.

BINGO TIME!

Incredibly late, but it's here.

  Too much talk of Subnormality to get a real bingo-friendly thread going.

    I found that laugh out loud amusing.

  4. I actually read the entire thing and didn't find any of it amusing.

  5. The sad thing is, the premise here isn't bad-- it would have been okay if presented as a readable blog post (and maybe pared down a bit to the better juxtapositions, like the Jesus-and-masturbation one), and without that stupid outdated meme punchline at the end.

  6. The future sure ain't what it used to be.

  7. Consequences will never be the same.

    Captcha: tranter, the plural for ALT-Fs.

    Look at that tranter of ALT-Fs pretending to be women.

  8. The plural or a collective noun?

    As a collective noun, like: a Murder of Crows; a Pod of Whales; or a Cream of Cunts, it works well.
    A 'Kathoey of ALTFs' accommodates your example more closely than a 'Tranter of ALTFs' though.

    Innit?

  9. An ALTF is http://www.blogger.com/profile/17268774869730336731

    At least I think so. Unless a crucial piece of internet slang passed me by - wouldn't be the first time

  10. I dunno, I was dumb enough to look it up on urban dictionary but all I found was references to "alt + F4", the candy-giving key combo.

    Maybe they're saying "close your browser and stop trying to pry into our inside jokes"?
